Together and Apart. The Urban Family in Russia in the Twentieth Century

Exhibition, ZARYA Centre for Contemporary Art, Vladivostok, Russia

On 6 March the IISH exhibition Together and Apart. The Urban Family in Russia in the Twentieth Century opened its doors in the Russian port-city of Vladivostok.

Formerly on show in de Drenths Museum in Assen, in Moscow and in St. Petersburg, Together and Apart is based on the results of IISH research and shows the impact of Russia’s turbulent twentieth century on the form, function and evolution of the family and household in Russia.

The exhibition is on show at the ZARYA Centre for Contemporary Art, former garment factory, which was one of the largest in the Russian Far East. For this occasion the exhibition has been supplemented with four family histories of former workers from this factory.

Curators of the exhibition are Gijs Kessler and Jeroen de Vries. Together and Apart will be on show at the ZARYA Centre for Contemporary Art until 30 August 2015.
